Good Growth Opportunities in Global Canned Fruits Market Till 2019

The global canned fruits market is highly concentrated with the top three players accounting for over 50% of the total market in 2012. Some of the players in the market include Dole Food Company, Inc., H.J. Heinz Company, ConAgra Foods, Seneca, and Del Monte. Most of the companies operating in canned fruits market own various brands, Transparency Market Research (TMR) finds in a new study. For instance, Del Monte has a wide range of brands such as Contadina, Del Monte, College Inn, S&W, and many others.


Companies are entering into strategic partnerships and acquisitions in order to expand in the market. These partnerships and joint ventures help companies widen their product portfolio and expand their brand across the globe. A case in point would be Seneca Foods Corporation. The company has acquired Independent Foods, LLC. This acquisition has helped the company to add canned pears, apples, and cherries to its product portfolio.
Convenience and Nutritional Benefits Drive Demand for Canned Fruits

The steadily evolving food habits among the people due to urbanization, increasing disposable income, and emergence of nuclear families have led to an increase in the consumption of canned fruits. Other factors driving the demand for canned fruits include increase in the number of working women, busy lifestyles, and the availability of a wide range of fruits in different categories. As an increasing number of consumers seek convenience food, canned fruits have become an integral part of the grocery budget for many families. Canned fruits are convenient because they are available throughout the year, regardless of seasons. Moreover, they have no pits, peels, and stalks, making them ready to use as soon as the fruit can is opened. Canned fruits last for many months without the need for refrigerating.

Canned fruits are also appealing to the health conscious people as they do not contain preservatives and the nutritional value of these fruits are same as freshly picked fruits. As canned fruits are a good source of vitamin A, C, minerals, and fibers, their demand is high among consumers, including the health conscious people.

Rigorous Testing and Monitoring by USDA to Impede Growth of Canned Fruits Market

The additives and ingredients used in canned fruits are strictly regulated and monitored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA has set certain standards and criteria for determining the safety of canned fruits. Rigorous testing is done to define the safety levels of different products. All canned fruits need to be U.S. Grade B and should be packed as per guidelines with a declaration of the proper content. The quality of the fruit, the strength of the syrup, the fruit mass in the container, and the possible existence of micro-biological decay are checked for. Products that do not conform to these strict regulations are rejected and not marketed.

Another factor affecting the demand for canned fruits is the availability of frozen fruits, says TMR. The frozen fruits market is on the ascent owing to the inclination of an increasing number of consumers towards hygienic and convenient options. A majority of nutrients in frozen fruits are locked and retained whereas canned fruits are blanched and flash frozen to remove bacteria, causing a loss of some vitamins in the process. Additionally, the availability of different fruit juices in innovative packaging makes them more convenient, portable and storable, which is also reducing the demand for canned fruits.

Increased Health Awareness Creates Demand for Organic Canned Fruits

Canned fruits made from organic fruits presents a huge opportunity for players,” states a TMR analyst. The growing preference for organic and natural ingredients over their synthetic counterparts is driving the demand for organic canned fruits. Companies such as Eden Organic, Bionaturae, and Native Forest, provide organic canned fruits. Organic and natural ingredients are thus gaining momentum and will drive the consumption of organic canned fruits.

According to the report, the global market opportunity in canned fruits is expected to rise from US$9.45 bn in 2015 to over US$10.82 bn by 2019. Europe followed by North America is expected to lead in the global canned fruits market by 2019. Europe is expected to account for 45.6% of the global canned fruits market.

This information is based on the findings of a report published by Transparency Market Research titled “Canned Fruits Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2013 - 2019.”

Pizza/Pasta and Burger/Sandwich Ride over Chicken and Latin American Food

One of the key parameters that the global fast food market is categorized on is product type. Out of all the different forms of fast food, the burger/sandwich and pizza/pasta segments are projected to inflate their market size at a sweeping CAGR. This growth of the aforementioned giant segments is calculated to shy away the markets for chicken and Latin American food. However, with the coveted health boons and bold and spicy flavors offered, these fast food markets are foreseen to climb on a growing trend in the developed regions. The other critical segments of the global market by type are sea-food, snacks, and Mexican.

If the types of delivery chain are considered, the classification of the international fast food market follows as quick service restaurants (QSR) and street vendors. In terms of distribution channel, local fast food chains are foretold to take advantage of their cost-effectiveness and unique taste to thrive significantly in their respective regions with a greater market share. By the end of the forecast period, chained fast food outlets are envisaged to take hold of a dominant share in the global market while emerging as the most preferred distribution channel.

Asia Pacific and Other Emerging Regions Run Toward a Brighter Future

North America and Europe as the conventional markets for fast food have clasped a stupendous market share in the recent past, owing to heavy dependence on convenience owing to a busy lifestyle and high demand for convenient restaurant food. Moreover, the healthy changes in fast food menus and introduction of unprocessed cheese, organic vegetables, hormone-free meat, and natural ingredients have contributed toward the maturation of these markets.

Favorable demographics, increasing disposable income and purchasing power, greater urbanization, and fast adoption of the Western lifestyle have substantially made the future brighter for the developing markets. With the preference for offers, proximity, and easy prices, the developing regions have proposed a change in the global market.

Howbeit, North America still dominates the global market with more number of fast food consumers than the other regions. North America and Asia Pacific had collectively dominated the market with a share of over 60.0% in the past.

The list of the prominent players in the global fast food market incorporates Wendy’s International Inc., Doctor’s Association Inc., Burger King Worldwide Inc., Jack in the Box Inc., Yum! Brands Inc., Domino’s Pizza Inc., and McDonald’s Corporation.


Forage Feed Market 2013-2029 Shares, Trend and Growth Report

A radical shift in the socio-cultural behavior occurring due to globalization has impacted the forage feed market. Dairy farms, animal husbandry, and poultry sectors are focusing on the purchase of value added, high quality forage feed products, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. Environmental considerations are expected to play an important role in influencing the buying decision of consumers. Major players operating in the global forage feed market have their presence across the value chain. Some market players such as BASF, Allied Seed LLC, and Cargill Incorporated have wide experience in the forage feed industry. These companies are working towards providing innovative solutions in the field of pest management, forestland management, and improvement in the quality of seeds.


Many companies are focusing on the manufacturing of improved nutritional herbicides and bio-based forages which increases the yield and reduces the risks. Many international players are adopting technologies that help improve land management. This is helping them achieve intensive grassland production and is thus, intensifying competition in the market.
Demand for Organic Meat Drives Adoption of Forage Feed

There has been a growing concern over meat consumption among consumers across the globe. People have become more health conscious and are increasingly demanding organic meat. Since for organic meat, animals are fed on corn forages or grass, with no use of growth regulators, fertilizers, pesticides, or additives, this type of meat is healthier. Moreover, organic meat overcomes issues associated with meat such as cholesterol, obesity, cancer, fat, and hypertension. This is in turn driving the demand for forage feed.

The worldwide meat production has increased by 20% in the last decade as an increasing number of people are consuming meat. This has led to a surge in animal breeding for livestock. Livestock or farm animals consume forage as their primary feed. This is propelling the demand for forage feed.

The health benefits of forage are also fueling the demand for this feed. Forage consumption has several benefits such as increasing the rumination among the cattle, increasing the fiber content, and supplying 75% of the protein required in the diet of animals. Moreover, forage consumption increases the performance of animals, including reproduction.

Lack of funding in Forage Research Restricts Growth of Forage Feed Market

Forage research becomes necessary so as to have innovation that ensures long-term profitability and sustainability for the producers. However, due to budget insufficiency and non-replacement of retiring personnel, the forage research has been on a decline. Another factor that holds the potential to dampen the demand for forage feed is the rising use of forage substitutes. Forage substitutes such as beet pulpin low starch or high quality by-product diets can threaten the demand for forage feed. Sand draught is another factor that has surged the demand for substitutes. Choice of alternative feeds is also done in order to decrease the dependency on grass forage feeds, when there is shortage of harvested forage owing to drought, frost, nutrient or soil deficiency, and excessive soil nitrogen.

Product Innovation to Create Opportunities in Forage Feed Market

One of the emerging key trends in the market is the development of forage feed that is low in fat. Product innovations in forage feed such that the feed is composed in a special way to reduce the fat content can open many growth opportunities in the market. Extensive research is being carried out to determine the composition of ingredients in forage feed to provide maximum nutritional benefit to the animals.

Consumers are increasingly demanding that livestock products have no antibiotics, no growth hormones, and are organic. This is shifting the focus of the companies towards developing products that are energy rich and reduce the need for various other supplements. Case in point. Triple Crown Nutrition Inc. has developed Equimix, a product which is a unique blend of supplements for horse, eliminating the need for many other additional supplement required for improved digestion of horses.

Based on product type, the stored forage segment led in 2013, accounting for 41.51% of the global forage feed market. Asia Pacific accounted for 30% of the global forage feed market in 2013, in terms of production volume. By livestock, the poultry segment led in 2013, accounting for 33.1% of the global forage feed market. The cattle segment is expected to show a healthy growth in the coming years.

The global forage feed market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2013 to 2019. The market which was valued at US$85.06 bn in 2013 is expected to be worth US$162.87 bn by 2019, as per TMR.

The increasing demand for health benefitting foods that is needed beyond basic nutrition to promote optimal health is currently the cornerstone of the development of functional food ingredients market. The growing awareness among a large population demographic regarding the consumption of nutritive food rather than only satisfying taste and appeal considerations is providing a strong basis for the growth of players in the market. As a result, consumers are opting for nutritive convenience foods and nutritionally fortified foods in place of traditional convenience and junk foods.

However, the market is challenged by stringent regulatory agencies that have a lengthy approval process before food is available for commercial sales. These mandates are based on the safety norms in place for foods to be suitable for consumption for varied social demographics and varied age groups. Accredited agencies such as the UN’s FAO and FDA are constantly monitoring the use of colors and chemicals in foods, especially for new markets such as the global functional food ingredients market. As such, product manufacturers are under pressure to obtain approvals prior to manufacture and distribution, which adds up to the time taken for the final product to be available for commercial sales.

In terms of revenue, the global market for functional food ingredients is projected to be worth US$32.4 bn by 2024 increasing from US$19.38 bn in 2015 at a CAGR of 6.0% between 2016 and 2024.
